Quick & Easy Dinner for Two
I am having to learn to cook for two. I am so used to having a house full of kids and with my kids come friends. Now that my daughters have moved away for college it's just me and my favorite little boy. I am also embarking on a wellness and weight loss journey. So, this means cutting back and still making the things we like.
Air Fryer Chicken Breast
2 chicken breast (I get the fresh chicken packages at Sam's that come 2 in a pack)
I scored the chicken in a criss cross pattern to make lots of room for the seasonings to get down into.
I used salt, pepper, paprika and Sure Fire BBQ Chicken Charmer seasoning (it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING). It is a small family owned business. www.surefirebbq.com
Put them in the air fryer at 380 degrees for 15 mins. Just make sure they reach 165 degrees.
Oven Roasted Green Beans
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Small package of fresh green beans. Put them in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt pepper and seasonings of your choice. I used a Holy Garlic seasoning that I found at Walmart. It is really yummy!!
Spread them out on a foil lined pan and cook for 15 mins. Removed them, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bacon bits and cook for another 5-7 mins or until desired tenderness.
Great Value Artisan White Cheddar and Black Pepper is one of my son's favorite things. Just cooked according to directions. It's extremely flavorful. This was his special treat being I am on a low carb diet he was able to enjoy this all on his own and had some left for lunch tomorrow.
Enjoy!!

Preparing quick meals that are both tasty and healthy can be a delightful challenge, especially when cooking for two. The air fryer offers a convenient way to create juicy chicken breasts with minimal effort. Simply season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and your favorite BBQ seasoning, then air fry at 380°F for 15 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. This method ensures a flavorful, tender result in less time. For a side dish, oven-roasted green beans can be a nutritious addition. Toss fresh green beans with olive oil and seasonings, then roast them until tender. Adding parmesan cheese and bacon bits creates an indulgent finish, making them a hit for both adults and children alike. It's also essential to explore low-carb options or healthier snacks to complement your meal. Incorporating products like artisan white cheddar can satisfy cravings while adhering to your dietary goals. By using simple yet flavorful ingredients, you can craft meals that are not only easy to prepare but are also enjoyable to eat. These recipes are perfect for anyone learning to cook for fewer people while still wanting to create hearty meals. Engaging your culinary skills in this way could spark new interests in various cuisines and cooking styles. Always consider your personal tastes and dietary restrictions to make the most of your cooking experiences.
